Easter Sunday

We had such a nice Easter. We were able to spend it at Josh's parents house. Payton was really able to understand what was going on this year, so he was fun to watch. In Josh's family they have the tradition that the Easter Bunny hides their easter baskets. So everyone was searching easter morning. After all the searching was done we had the opportunity to watch general conference. I have come to really enjoying watching conference. 
Even though I have to kids, and life isn't always quiet, I was able to set aside the time to watch all 4 sessions. I really enjoyed them. Easter is a wonderful time of the year. I love being able to have that time when we get to study the resurrection of Our Savior. I know we can anytime, but Easter just makes it that much more special. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and I am so grateful for the atonement in my life.

Payton found his basket hidden behind the corner of the table

He was excited about all the candy.

Scarlett didn't really care all that much about her basket.

Gabriella loved being with Scarlett. Anytime Gabriella sees Scarlett she will just wave at her. It is so very cute.  

The Easter Bunny gave Payton a blue ring pop. His mouth was blue most of Easter Sunday.

The Egg Hunt! 
I had filled 139 plastic eggs with candy. So Sunday morning in between conference sessions we had an easter egg hunt in the grandparents backyard. The kids loved it. It was perfect timing because it started to rain shortly after we were done. It was very cold though!

They found some in the trees

Some in the flowers

Some where hidden really good. There were blue eggs in the blue flowers, and yellow eggs in the yellow flowers.

The group. Josh's brother and sister got to find some and also helped the kids find most though. The last 10 where a little tricky but they were able to find all 139 eggs.

Back inside the house counting their eggs, and checking out what was inside.


Scarlett missed out on all the fun, but she didn't seem to care.
We had such a wonderful Easter!

Coloring Easter Eggs

Payton really enjoyed coloring easter eggs this year. He would put them in the cup and then he would want Josh to take them right out. He did like 12 eggs. 

Any time I put Scarlett on the ground Payton wants to lay right by her. Sometimes he will even ask for me to put her by him if he is laying down. He thinks she wants to watch a movie with him. It's very cute! he is a good big brother. 
Josh wrote our names on an egg each and Payton really thought that was neat
He is showing here the egg that has his name on it. 

Scarlett slept through all the fun. She didn't really seem to care at all. 

The stickers on the eggs were not as fun as having them on his head. He even fell asleep with one of them on and woke up the next and felt it. He thought it was the funniest thing. 

Our finished project! We only had one cup get tipped over and I was able to clean it up before it left any last remarks on the tile. We had a lot of fun. 

The next morning the kids were just being so cute laying together.

Pictures! It's been a while

 Last week Josh had to go back to work after being off for the last three in a half weeks. While Josh was a work the three of us went on with our lives. We went to playgroup at the park. It's not very far from our house so we walked. I pushed Scarlett in her stroller and Payton rode his bike. He did such an amazing job. He never once complained. 

Almost to the park! He loves wearing any of my sunglasses
Playing!
Scarlett just slept through most of the fun.

When we got home, we walked up to the door and found a package. Payton was so excited when I told him it was for him and Scarlett. My sister and her husband had sent a package for them. They both got lots of fun things. My sister sure spoiled them.




Scarlett just being cute and hanging out while her brother enjoyed the package.


These are a few cute pictures of Payton and Scarlett
